and an other point I guess : strength training then allows you to go back lift heavier in the 8-12 range

Underrated comment. Lots of people don’t realize this.

Yep. I love using strength blocks to leapfrog the weights I can then handle in a hypertrophy block.

I rotate through three rep ranges, every workout: High Reps 16-18 Medium Reps 10-12 Low Reps 4-6 So, let’s say I’m hitting Shoulders High Reps, the next workout is Back Medium Reps, then, Chest Low Reps. As I work my way through my split, the next time I hit Shoulders, it will be Medium Reps, and so on. That way, I have to be going through the fourth micro cycle before I hit the same body part in the same Rep Range. This method is very plateau resistant.

I like doing squats dl and bench 3 sets 3 reps...is that too little reps and sets? I do however do 2-3 more sets of 5-6 reps of lower weights after though

@@sdbrahm2294 I believe that if you are pushing yourself on the 3rd and 6th set, respectively, to the point you have no reps in reserve, you will stimulate growth/strength.

Perfect timing. Thanks guys I started a heavy low rep Compound movements routine this week. Will push for 2 months then access & switch it up

Stayed away from the deadlift my whole life. Now doing low rep, heavy singles as well. 64 and enjoying the deadlift!

what's your weight looking like on it? Curious at 64. I am just now getting back in to strength trraining in my mid 50s. had previously in my late 40s (hit high 300s).

@@SalomonEspinosa70 I’ll never hit 300, I only weigh 148. I don’t go over 225. Probably never will. It’s definitely helped me perform some things on my mountain bike though. Climbing ledges which require some good fast pulling and hip hinging. Also hill climbs have improved dramatically. Would I like to hit 300 before I’m 70? You bet.

Good work! I am 56 and very much into exercise. I just started adding heavy singles to my bench. I have been stuck at a 205-pound max bench for nearly two years. 175 pounds seems to be an inflection point for me: anything below 175 seems quite manageable for bench pressing. But when I put 175 or more on the bar, it feels like the weight is controlling me as opposed to me controlling the weight. Yesterday during my bench workout I did a single of 191 and another single of 196. I am just hoping that doing this increases my confidence for heavier weights on the bench.

Low reps with very heavy weights produce same level of hypertrophy that high rep sets using light weights do. So many studies and meta studies have proven it again and again. Reason is that only last 2-3 reps of a high rep set are actually challenging and deploy every single muscle fiber provided that the set is taken to concentric failure. So, if you did 4 sets of 15 reps, total of 12 reps were meaningful out of 60 reps. On the other hand, low rep set usually uses weights at or beyond 85% of your max resulting in deployment of 100% muscle fibers right from first rep. So just 2 sets of 5 reps produced same 10 most effective reps. Additionally, these elicit high CNS activation causing great strength gains that high rep sets don't.

but heavy needs perfect mind muscle connection.

@mattcantinnutrition Жыл бұрын

You're forgetting there's a better mind muscle connection with high reps which many people struggle with

@farhanhussain_ Жыл бұрын

@@mattcantinnutrition major lifts in their standard versions don't allow to prioritize any single muscle group. They are a total body effort and technique is adjusted to utilize maximum possible muscles to move heavy weights. So mind muscle connection is not important. Close variations of these standard lifts, however, allow to target or prioritize certain muscles. For example, front squat better targets the quads, SLDL better stimulates the hamstrings, CGBP better hits the triceps. These versions also don't allow too heavy weights and are good for a bit higher reps and mind muscle connection. Machine based exercises and supported exercises are best at isolating a certain muscle, better mind muscle connection, and going to failure with high reps because these exercises don't allow as heavy weights as former two categories. For general public, this category best serves the mind muscle stuff.

Oh okay, I have heard about low rep ranges, but I didnt know you're supposed to leave a bunch in reserve. Now I wonder: How do you progressively overload in that rep range?

@edwarddaou9941 10 ай бұрын

@Chris-ki2dx 3 жыл бұрын

Question: should you alternate rep ranges on a weekly basis or more on a monthly basis?

@APR702 3 жыл бұрын

You can do either . As someone who has been lifting for 15 years and tried everthing . If you were to Change the reps every week you can do that and gain a decent amount of gains in 1-5 reps 6-8 reps and 10-12 reps whilst not maximizing any of them if that makes sense . Using one specific range for longer periods of time meaning like you said month to 3 months or even a full year you would reap all the benefits of that rep range and then change it up. So it’s all about what you’re willing to do an what you want
